Snapshot - Dublin hurler Ryan O'Dwyer talks about fatherhood on new RTÉ GAA show

The Dubs attacker is gearing up for Sunday’s Leinster final against Kilkenny.

RYAN O’DWYER IS gearing up for Sunday’s Leinster final against Kilkenny but looking after his young son Oisin helps to take his mind off the Croke Park showdown

O’Dwyer features tomorrow night on RTÉ’s new GAA magazine show ‘Thank GAA It’s Friday’, with the opening programme to broadcast on RTÉ 2 at 7.30pm.

The former Tipperary player believes that fatherhood has helped him mature. Here’s the evidence.

The first episode also features Leitrim’s Emlyn Mulligan on match day during their recent qualifier defeat to Down, the oldest hurley making family in the country (the Larkin’s from Killimor) and Darragh O Sé counts down his most memorable Cork-Kerry moments.

    4 and 1/2 games, already qualified. Record breaking and relentless. The forerunners of Irish rugby for the last decade and showing no sign of slowing down

    Leinster are just so bloody good. They’re halfway to a bonus point against the premiership leaders after seven minutes! Incredible team

    That’s the ticket. Push on and show a ruthless side for the second half. 1/4 final spot with 2games in hand at the moment. Pure Blue class.

    Quality start to the game from Leinster. Few teams can live with them when they turn on the power.

    What’s with all the booing though!!

    @Eddie Hekenui: it was against the ref for allowing the second Northampton try because it looked like blatant obstruction to me. Some idiots were booing when biggar came off which was not cool. The problem with these games is you get a lot of people out for a Christmas do, mouldy drunk and with no actual interest in the game.

    Leinster are barely out of third gear and Northampton make them look like world beaters. Competition rugby standards is poor this year. Shocking from Saints. Tom Wood a shadow of himself.

    When did BO’D get the Union Jack tattooed on his butt? Seems to have forsaken his blue eyes for red white and blue?
    He who pays the piper?
